Enjoy the Sarasota lifestyle to the fullest in this stunningly updated home nestled on an over-quarter-acre lot in the sought-after Gulf Gate Woods neighborhood. From the moment you lay eyes on the shimmering white barrel tile roof and vibrant new turquoise exterior paint, you'll know you're in for a treat. Once inside, the light and bright open-concept living areas greet you with all-new modern luxury vinyl plank flooring, recessed lighting fixtures & ceiling fans, stylish 5 1/3" baseboards, and a contemporary fresh coat of paint. The kitchen's upgraded granite counters & island bartop, soft-close shaker cabinets, custom tile backsplash, and stainless appliances add a couth flair that will make you the envy of your friends and family, and its passthrough window helps achieve quintessential Florida indoor-outdoor living & dining. Using the sliding doors in the living room or formal dining room, head out to explore the lanai to imagine all the possibilities for entertaining it provides and to scope out the ample backyard, which has plenty of room to add a pool or fence if desired. Back inside, soak in the primary bedroom's commodious quarters, including an updated en-suite bath complete with walk-in & linen closets, dazzling Carrara marble sink vanities, and a lavish floor-to-ceiling tile shower. Make sure to check out the bonus room located just off the primary bedroom, which makes for a perfect home office or nursery, before heading across the split-bedroom floor plan to investigate the guest bedroom and bathroom that also received a revamp of chic custom tile in the shower and Carrera marble vanity. If that weren't enough, the home just had a new HVAC system installed and boasts new interior doors, new toilets in each bathroom, a dedicated laundry room with a utility sink, an attached two-car garage. Moreover, the friendly and active Gulf Gate Community Association is optional for a nominal yearly fee, and its prime location means it is just minutes from all the fabulous dining, shopping, nightlife & cultural events happening in the nearby Gulf Gate business district or in Downtown Sarasota, as well as the Legacy Trail, golf courses, boat clubs, an award-winning library, and of course... the world-famous soft white sand and warm blue gulf waters of Siesta Key's beaches!
